Benitez odds tumbling - Maybe Purslow is on his way after the Gerrard debacle as such his fractious relationship with Purslow is a non issue.

I think I'd burn my ST if it was Benitez

I can’t really see Emery leaving Villarreal either after turning down Newcastle last year.

Any foreign manager who has never worked in the Prem before is a massive gamble, highly rated or not.

Except Emery has managed Arsenal

 

[DeanoVilla]

Amorim is a huge gamble. If it goes wrong, we go down.

So you're saying Allardyce until the summer them get Amorin in with a full pre season?

 

[DeanoVilla]

we need to de-risk this appointment as much as possible

Mourinho.

Current odds.

i think rodgers isn't a bad shout, and realistic

Exactly. You can't underestimate the value of a full preseason.

Are we waiting for him to get the sack or paying to get a manager that's about to get sacked?

not sure mate. Didn't ask.

Anyone know much about Ruben Amorim?

Done very well in Portugal and won the league with Sporting which is hard to do with Porto’s dominance but at the same time it would be a choice based on hoping he’s the next big thing rather than being a super ambitious appointment of a proven quantity.

His implosion at Leicester is enough to give me second thoughts tbh.

we get our manager based on how many times they have won the Scottish league in a one-horse race, oh but now it's a 2 horse race again. At least Portugal is a 4 horse race

Yeah, why not, give the lad a go, what could possibly go wrong. Loads of good managers come out of Portugal: Mourinho, AVB, Lage, Nuno. Actually, possibly not a bad shout

I'm just going to sit back relax and see what happens, then I'll read all of your posts bitching about the latest debacle

Mourinho.

i'd be delighted to get him in. He can bring Tammy back too.
Would he come in another matter

Hard to know what he's thinking. On one hand he loves the Premier league, he has a soft spot for Villa always saying complimentary things about us, and Roma look like they may struggle to qualify for the Europa League knock out stages.

On the other hand would you swap Rome and a top 4 battle for Aston and a relegation battle?

Worth an enquiry though surely?

 

[Silhillvilla]

I'm surprised Dean Smith isn't amongst the runners at the bookies

 

[Villan57]

It's a wonder Terry isn't on it, people bet on stupid things don't they, bookies are always wealthy people

Roma are currently sitting top 4 and the usual title challengers Inter and Juve are looking way off the pace. I'd be surprised if he left Rome for us in our current position. If we were around top 8 we may have a chance
